Water in our body

ist2_1057852_water_drop_cartoon.jpgWater gives you nutrients that your body needs for producing other nutrients and chemical reactions. No water, no life.

Without water you would dehydrate and die. Dehydration is when your body dries up. A human can live without water for about a week. When you don't drink water for really long, you will start to feel dizzy. Later on you will start to feel sick and will probably faint. At this stage if you don't drink any liquids or get medical support you are in a big risk of dying.

If you are dehydrated NEVER drink a lot of water at the same time, drink the water slowly.

Water cycle

Water cycle is an endless cycle in which the water in the Earth moves around the atmosphere, the land and oceans.
In the water cycle:
--> the water from the oceans, lakes, plant's and animal's transpiration goes into the air in form of water vapour.
--> when it reaches the atmosphere, it becomes our well-known clouds.
--> when it rains, the water from the clouds will go back to the ocean or land. Usually there is a runoff in which the water that fell on land area will reach the sea or any other water source ( lakes, lagoons ).
